It is only 18 months old. I emailed the supplier but they just ignored me. ### 1/5 — Overseas problem *2023-08-22* Camera shows as offline when I travel and use overseas. The camera clock is off for 5mins but I cannot find a way to sync it. ### 1/5 — Poor at best *2023-03-06, version 2.4.1* Camera alerts when it wants to. One day I will get an alert every 2 minutes then 2 weeks of no alerts. Doesn’t matter what the settings are. Also turned the camera off and charged overnight. Blue light was showing indicating fully charged. Turned camera back on and app shows 68% charged. Will replace this set up soon. Must be better options available. ### 1/5 — No notification *2023-02-12, version 2.4.1* Every single day, sometimes twice a day, I need to log back in again, it log out itself ### 1/5 — Camera *2022-11-07, version 2.4.1* This camera is shocking when it rains it does not work and you cannot charger I recommend not buying it ### 1/5 — Is waste money *2022-10-25, version 2.4.1* Is working just couple month and now did recording everything ### 1/5 — Don’t like updates *2022-08-13, version 2.4.1* It caused my camera not to work now ### 1/5 — Rating camera *2022-06-06, version 2.4.1* I like having a camera outback but this one is a little bit unreliable. Often time I do not get a video or I can’t get the video until the next day. Sometimes I can get a picture but not always. It’s difficult to tell if it’s charged and it was showing an error that I did not have a Sim card when I did. I really wish the company would fix these for me or replace it with a better camera. ### 1/5 — Anteprime *2022-04-13, version 2.4.1* Qualcuno ha risolto io non so più a chi mandare mail ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So far so good *2025-08-04, version 2.4.1* Its so far simple and i love the voice instructions ### 5/5 — Easy app *2024-11-03, version 2.4.1* pretty nice setup and friendly useable ### 5/5 — The best *2023-11-14, version 2.4.1* Ottimo direi ### 5/5 — Very easy installation *2023-08-18, version 2.4.1* Quick, easy and competent setup routine and excellent quality of recordings.
